 It’s not arrogant to point out a flaw or gap in someone else’s thinking. In this case the gap i happen to be pointing out is widespread. 
 I’ve always looked at arrogance vs confidence this way. I can dance in the light of my achievements/insights or I can compare it to other people’s and belittle them a little (« have no understanding… »). I’m just saying how it can get across in written form, not that it was your intention. Tone is everything.
